It seems with Harding Press books that the topic discussed isn't the mainstay of a coach. While Coach Ratledge uses the 46 he also uses other defenses(as he says in the book). This isn't a bad thing AT ALL. It actually gives you something extra. In the case with this book it is the shifting and stemming from and to a 4-3 Defense.

With the book itself: it is good. Very detailed and illustrated. The front itself looks differen from Rex Ryan's 46 but it's not THAT much different. Both have the adjuster(Strong Safety) off the TE instead of the weakside tackle but the tackle in Coach Ratledge's book is set wider in the illustrations only. It might throw you off at first, but you'll adjust(we are coaches after all).

Why four stars? While the book covers all the basics and advanced material, I'd like to see a chart or the like. I would also like to see things more spaced out.

Pluses: Good coverage of the 46. Bonus material informative and adds to knowledge.

Minuses: Bunched together informaton-wise at times.

Why would anyone want to purchase a book that is 10 years old and just over 100 pages for $95. No way this book is worth that much, especially considering that the author is not even the originator of the 46 defense.
